New Refrigerant (R410A)

This air conditioner adopts a new HFC type refrigerant (R410A) which does not deplete the ozone layer.

1. Safety Caution Concerned to New Refrigerant

The pressure of R410A is high 1.6 times of that of the former refrigerant (R22). Accompanied with change of refrigerant, the refrigerating oil has been also changed.

Therefore, be sure that water, dust, the former refrigerant or the former refrigerating oil is not mixed into the refrigerating cycle of the air conditioner with new refrigerant during installation work or service work.

If an incorrect work or incorrect service is performed, there is a possibility to cause a serious accident. Use the tools and materials exclusive to R410A to purpose a safe work.

2.Cautions on Installation/Service

1)Do not mix the other refrigerant or refrigerating oil.

For the tools exclusive to R410A, shapes of all the joints including the service port differ from those of the former refrigerant in order to prevent mixture of them.

2)As the use pressure of the new refrigerant is high, use material thickness of the pipe and tools which are specified for R410A.

3)In the installation time, use clean pipe materials and work with great attention so that water and others do not mix in because pipes are affected by impurities such as water, oxide scales, oil, etc.

Use the clean pipes.

Be sure to brazing with flowing nitrogen gas. (Never use gas other than nitrogen gas.)

4)For the earth protection, use a vacuum pump for air purge.

5)R410A refrigerant is azeotropic mixture type refrigerant.

Therefore use liquid type to charge the refrigerant. (If using gas for charging, composition of the refrigerant changes and then characteristics of the air conditioner change.)

3.Pipe Materials

For the refrigerant pipes, copper pipe and joints are mainly used.

It is necessary to select the most appropriate pipes to conform to the standard.

Use clean material in which impurities adhere inside of pipe or joint to a minimum.

1) Copper pipe

<Piping>

The pipe thickness, flare finishing size, flare nut and others differ according to a refrigerant type.

When using a long copper pipe for R410A, it is recommended to select “Copper or copper-base pipe without seam” and one with bonded oil amount 40mg/10m or less.

Also do not use crushed, deformed, discolored (especially inside) pipes. (Impurities cause clogging of expansion valves and capillary tubes.)

<Flare nut>

Use the flare nuts which are attached to the air conditioner unit.

2)Joint

The flare joint and socket joint are used for joints of the copper pipe. The joints are rarely used for installation of the air conditioner. However clear impurities when using them.

CONCEALED DUCK TYPE, CEILING TYPE specifications

Toshiba has long been a name associated with innovative and efficient HVAC solutions, and their Concealed Duck Type, Ceiling Type air conditioning units exemplify this legacy. These units are designed to provide exceptional comfort while seamlessly integrating into a variety of interior spaces.

One of the main features of the Toshiba Concealed Duck Type, Ceiling Type system is its discreet installation method. Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, this system is installed within the ceiling, allowing for an unobtrusive appearance. The result is a clean and modern aesthetic, ideal for residential and commercial settings where design is a priority. With only the supply and return grilles visible, the units maintain the integrity of the interior decor.

The technology employed in Toshiba's air conditioning systems revolves around energy efficiency and user comfort. The units are equipped with inverter technology, which allows for precise temperature control and reduces energy consumption. The inverter adjusts the compressor speed to meet the cooling or heating demand, ensuring not only optimal comfort but also reduced operational costs.

Another significant characteristic of the Toshiba Concealed Duck Type units is their quiet operation. Designed with sound-dampening features, they operate at low noise levels, making them suitable for environments where noise can be a concern, such as offices, hotels, or residential spaces.

Toshiba's advanced air filtration system further enhances indoor air quality. Integrated filters capture dust and allergens, creating a healthier indoor environment. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with allergies or respiratory concerns, as the system works to reduce airborne pollutants.

The units also offer flexible control options. With the availability of remote control or smart home integration, users can easily adjust settings to suit their preferences. Additionally, some models come with programmable timers, allowing for energy savings when the space is unoccupied.

Furthermore, these units are designed for reliability and ease of maintenance. Toshiba emphasizes durability in their construction, and the concealed installation not only enhances aesthetics but also protects the unit from potential damage. Routine maintenance can be performed efficiently, ensuring longevity and sustained performance.

In summary, Toshiba's Concealed Duck Type, Ceiling Type air conditioning units deliver a blend of innovative technology, energy efficiency, and contemporary design. With features like inverter technology, quiet operation, advanced air filtration, and flexible control options, they offer a compelling choice for those seeking comfort without compromising style. These units stand as a testament to Toshiba's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction in the HVAC industry.
